Road mortality contributes to the evolution of an urban-rural cline in squirrel coat color

2025-02-11

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Cities impose unique selection pressures on wildlife and generate clines in phenotypic traits along urban-rural gradients. Roads, as a ubiquitous feature of human dominated landscapes, are a significant source of direct mortality for wildlife, but their role as a selective force in producing phenotypic trait variation along urban-rural clines is not known. This study tested the hypothes...
